Market

Calvin Bassey asks to leave Fulham

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match

No end in sight to Fulham's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Fulham has to find a result from somewhere.

Transfer targets

An offer of $1.9M for Pascal Struijk

Fulham have gone to Brighton with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Market

Fulham say no — this time

The offer from Bristol Rovers for Harrison Reed was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

The dugout

Aidan Evans keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Fulham may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Boardroom

Fulham go back to the board over Pascal Struijk

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $1.9M — a club that wants Pascal Struijk enough to be asked twice.

Squad

The step up is real for Seth Ridgeon

At 18 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Fulham

9 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Player ratings

Ryan Sessegnon was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 20. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

In brief
